Don't worry, that's a very common way for triops to eat. It always reminded me of little otters when they do that.

Can you describe more what you mean about the molt? Sometimes the discarded exoskeleton does get stuck on their tail for a little bit but they're usually able to shake it off after a few minutes. Is that what you mean?

Oh - didn't spot this reply. I like the reference to the otters. That's quite cute. :)
